To live together in the world means essentially that a world of things is between those who have it in common, as a table is located between those who sit around it; the world like every in- between, relates and separates men at the same time. The public realm, as the common world, gathers us together and yet prevents our falling over each other, so to speak. What makes mass society so difficult to bear is not the number of people involved, or at least not primarily, but the fact that the world between them has lost its power to gather them together, to relate and to separate them.

- Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition
